Connecting to a Faraway Station Using WIRES-X
Finding a local node
To communicate using WIRES-X, a WIRES-X node station (local node) must be
established within radio contact range of the user transceiver.
WIRES-X nodes are stations users voluntarily registered with Yaesu. Their information
such as locations and operation styles are listed on our website:
https://www.yaesu.com/jp/en/wires-x/index.php
First use this list to search for a nearby local node, and nodes on the Internet used by
people you want to communicate with; write down the node names and frequencies.
Since the connection procedure differs between digital stations and analog stations,
confirm whether the node is an analog station or a digital station.
•
When the local node is a digital station:
Connect from your transceiver in digital mode.
(Nodes on the Internet can connect to both digital and analog stations.)
•
When the local node in an analog station:
Connect from your transceiver in analog mode.
(Nodes on the Internet can connect to both analog and digital stations.)
Connecting in digital mode
•
Ascertain the DSQ code or the DG-ID setting of the WIRES-X node station.
Connecting to the WIRES-X node requires the transceiver DG-ID be set ac-cording to
the DSQ code or the DG-ID code set on the WIRES-X node station.
•
Confirm that the operating mode of WIRES-X node has been set to the C4FM digital
mode.
•
Before using WIRES-X, set the communication mode (modulation mode) to C4FM.
Connecting to a WIRES-X digital node (Recommended)
1
Rotate the DIAL to set the operating band to the
frequency of the desired local node.
2
Set the transmit/receive DG-ID to the same ID
number as the node station. For details, refer to the
FTM-100DR/DE Operating Manual.
3
Transmit corresponding to the transmit/receive fre-
quency.
Tips
• If receiving the signal from the node, transmit it as is.
• If not receiving the signal from the node, it is possible
that the node station is not connected to the Internet
à
proceed to step “Connecting to the other node ID or the
other room ID”.
